Time to put the newly rewritten server into action. Broke out my totally stock firmware LG WH16NS60 drive, and started in on some Bluray TV episode sets. Currently ripping at ~9.2X which definitely helps out.
Think I'm gonna target AV1 via `av1an` and use the `svt-av1-psyex` encoder. Already have the subtitles and attachments though I'll have to offset the subs by 1000ms for everything to work out.

Yesterday on our bike ride we almost got a sun burn and two weeks ago I was snowshoeing in the mountains! It's wild 😉
Today we have light rain, so I'm not sure if I want to get out for some activity or let it be a true #silentSunday .
Some background and video of the snowshoe-day can be found here:

A serene and untouched winter forest scene unfolds in this image, capturing the quiet beauty of a snow-covered trail. The foreground features a path blanketed in deep, pristine snow, winding its way through a dense forest. The snow's surface is marked by a few footprints, suggesting recent passage and adding a sense of exploration and adventure. The trail is flanked by snow-laden evergreen trees, their branches bending under the weight of the snow, creating a natural tunnel that adds depth and…

Extreme weather is hitting baby birds hard in a 60-year study #environment

Extreme weather is hitting baby birds hard in a 60-year study
Decades of data from over 80,000 great tits reveal that extreme weather can shape the fate of baby birds. Cold snaps soon after hatching and heavy rain later in development shrink nestling body mass and reduce survival odds. But moderate warm spells can actually help chicks grow by boosting insect activity and feeding opportunities. Birds that breed earlier in the season seem better protected from these weather shocks.

One interesting aspect of the electrification of heavy-duty vehicles and buses is how quickly the transition can happen. The total cost of ownership plays a decisive role. However, the barriers to entry are high, including higher purchase prices for the vehicles and the need for new infrastructure. This is not only a financial barrier, for which business models are emerging, but also a practical barrier in terms of lead times, grid capacity and charger availability. Furthermore, fleets tend to …

The brain region associated with moral inconsistency
Why don't some people practice what they preach? Researchers reveal that a brain region called the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) is involved. The researchers used fMRI imaging to identify brain activity patterns associated with moral behavior and judgment. People who behaved dishonestly despite judging the same behavior as immoral in others had less activity in the vmPFC, and when the researchers stimulated participants' vmPFCs, they became more morally inconsistent. The work is publis…

NO WAY should be fund DHS - let it wither and die!!!
It was and is trump's choice to illegally launch a war in Iran (and Venezuela). And it was trump's acolytes who chose to turn ICE and CBP into an unholy resurrection of the German Stasi and Gestapo.

FPF Retrospective: U.S. Privacy Enforcement in 2025
The U.S. privacy law landscape continues to mature as new laws go into effect, cure periods expire, and regulators interpret the law through enforcement actions and guidance. State attorneys general and the Federal Trade Commission act as the country’s de facto privacy regulators, regularly bringing enforcement actions under legal authorities both old and new. For privacy compliance programs, this steady stream of regulatory activity both clarifies existing responsibilities and raises new que…

The gist of a conversation I had with one of my oldest friends regarding Alex Pretty and the Ice occupation of Minneapolis. He lives in Las Vegas.
He said that almost overnight their neighborhood had become unlivable, overrun with drugs and cartel activity. His wife can't go to the store without him because it's not safe. His best friend out there died from a fentanyl overdose. So he didn't want to hear any liberal bullshit.
I asked, then why the fuck aren't they …

Black Ivory coffee: Elephant gut bacteria may contribute to its smooth, chocolaty flavor
Coffee beans that pass through the digestive tracts of animals get their unique flavors from the activity of gut microbes, report researchers from the Institute of Science Tokyo. The guts of Asian elephants that produce Black Ivory coffee (BIC) were rich in pectin-digesting bacteria. Heat-driven degradation of pectin during roasting makes coffee bitter. Bacterial activity that reduces the pectin content of BIC could be the source of its smoother, chocolaty, and less bitter flavor.

I've mentioned it before, and I'm sure I will again, but, as much as there's a reason why I reject Christianity, there were also a lot of good things. Churches have governing bodies (with varying degrees of democratic representation) that guide the ministry (preaching and actions) as well as managing logistics (building maintenance, accounting, etc). This provides opportunities for self-governed collective action.
Quakers are the most radical in terms of this, and are basically anarchists. Quaker circles often meet at people's houses and can be as small as 3 people. There is often no leadership. A Quaker service could easily just be everyone sitting in a circle and someone talking at one point.
I grew up in a Presbyterian church, and one of my first jobs (at 11 or 12) was landscaping there. Within the church there were a lot of different trades, which meant that you could volunteer time and learn basically any kind of maintenance. Basically everything that needed to be done was done in-house. This also meant that if you needed a plumber, an electrician, etc, that you could pick one from within the church.
I remember painting the church, learning how to paint, with a bunch of other members of the congregation at a work party. I also remember being volunteered for child care during choir. There were a few rooms around that were used for different things, such as music practice. But these rooms could be made available for any type of community activity. This can actually include community organizing. In fact, Seattle GDC was offered an occasional space for organizing in a church (we didn't take it, but appreciated the offer), and that same church hosted a lot of other community events. I actually went to a queer relationships skills class once hosted in a church, which was great.
What I'm saying is that churches often act as a kind of parallel society up-to-and-including acting as dual power structures....

A 3,000-year high: Alaska’s Arctic is entering a dangerous new fire era
For thousands of years, wildfires on Alaska’s North Slope were rare. That changed sharply in the 20th century, when warming temperatures dried soils and fueled the spread of shrubs, setting the stage for intense fires. Peat cores and satellite data reveal that fire activity since the 1950s has reached record levels. The findings suggest the Arctic is entering a new, more dangerous fire era.
